word of the week : matriculation (noun)
- to admit or be admitted into a group, especially a college or university.
went to the ngee ann poly matriculation last friday. matriculation?! what the fuck is that?! imagine what all the bengs and mats would say. "eh hi, i'm here for the ma... mat-tri... ah chee bye what the fuck is that thing..." registration is so much easier.
on the way there, i realised that there is a school called trinity theology college at bukit timah road. since it's filled with what seems to be foreigners, it should be some kind of united world college kinda school, except lousier and cheaper.
"hiii..." seems pretty normal, except that it sounded extremely feminine/gay. and it was from a guy. at first i thought he was kidding. then he began speaking in that extremely feminine/gay voice.
he then told us to attend some camp shit which was supposedly compulsory for all business and accountancy students (in his unique voice). the previous guy was more interested in speaking to the 2 girls in front of me, and told them a whole lot of shit about registering at the counter. so i wanted to ask him about that, but i decided against it.
voice."make sure you all atttend ah?" he said. "especially you," he said to me.
now i really hope he isin't gay. just REALLY REALLY feminine.
new word of the week : mulatto (noun)
- an offspring of a black and a white parent.
school was once filled with poseurs and other assorted idiots. now, it's still the same deal, except that they can dress in anything they want. hip-hoppers can dress in their hip-hop clothes, poseurs can dress in their posing clothes. normal is a word that doesn't exist here. maybe except for me.
some people say being normal is conforming to society, being a good boy. people want to be abnormal because they don't want to be normal, because they think being normal sucks. but isin't that also conformity?
i don't smoke because i know that it kills, not because i'm a good boy. it's not as if "smoking kills" was created as part of a propoganda campaign to put people off the stick. it's the truth. smoking for the sake of smoking is conformity. not smoking is using your brain.
people claim that they like to be themselves, and their clothes help bring out their character, make them feel unique (ie. hip-hopper dress in hip-hop clothes, etc). all's well and fine with that, except that their unique dress code is copied 20,000 times over by other various hip-hoppers and such related people. so how unique is that?
besides, wearing lots of 'diamond' jewellery is just screaming "WHOO!!! LOOK AT ME!!!" in other words, it's attention seeking. maybe it's just me, but i think that uniqueness does not need to be expressed through clothes. if a person is really unique, there isin't a need to wear a shirt that says "i'm unique, look at me!"
1) conformity rules.
2) not-conforming for the sake of it is conformity.
i am a conformist through the first rule.
however, i conform by my own rules. does that make me unique?
transferred all my old songs from the laptop to me zen micro. so i'm gonna be listening to poppy nonsense for some time. listening to old songs brings back memories. singers like jason mraz and eminem remind me of the time i was in sec 3, studying for my final year and listening to perfect 10, while britney spears and m2m remind me of my primary 6 days.
